Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree currently has a 'Mixed' status on Steam, with many of the negative reviews complaining that the bosses are too hard

Some of them are also down on the game's PC performance, which is fair.

    Elden Ring already has things like spirit summons to make the game trivial, there is no need for an easier mode.

      I mean, that’s what the person above me was specifically replying to.

      Does it affect you in any way that they were able to enjoy the game via the easy mode mod? Would it have affected you if that setting was just available in the menu?

        I think it would take away from the game if you could just change the difficulty from the settings.

        Part of what makes souls games special is that they put a wall in front of you and it’s up to you to figure out how to get past it. You can make it easier on you by asking for help through summons, spirits, improving your build or you can learn how to fight them with what you already have.
